Syracuse, NY -- A routine arraignment in Onondaga County Court was disrupted this morning when several spectators began shouting obscenities at a murder suspect.

As soon as defendant Efrain Santos entered the courtroom in a jail uniform and handcuffs, an apparent family member of the victim let out a string of obscenities and was immediately ejected from the courtroom.

Santos is one of three men charged with second-degree murder in the death of Andre Rosario-Claudio, 21. Santos is accused of luring the victim behind a home at 120 Sabine Street in early June. Once there, co-defendant Maximino Alvarez allegedly shot the victim four times at close range with a handgun. The victim, who was trying to flee the scene, was shot three times on his left side and once in the back, according to court papers.

The victim's brother, Edgardo, was also shot during the incident but survived. The homicide occurred in broad daylight and was witnessed by several children attending a nearby baby shower.

After the charges against Santos were read to him, through an interpreter, other family members of the victim stood up and shouted expletives at the defendant.

Judge Thomas Miller kicked the family out, but then asked them to come back. He spoke with them privately at the bench before ejecting them a final time.

One of the family members was wearing a screen-printed t-shirt with the words "Gone, but not forgotten." She shook her head as a handful of court officers escorted her out of the courthouse.
